Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day is more than just a holiday — it's a day to reflect on justice, equality and the power of dreams.
Let's celebrate MLK Jr's legacy with some of his powerful quotes that continue to inspire us today.
"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."
"Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that."
"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy."
"We must come to see that the end we seek is a society at peace with itself, a society that can live with its conscience."
"Make a career of humanity. Commit yourself to the noble struggle for equal rights."
"I have decided to stick to love... Hate is too great a burden to bear."
"Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity."
"We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love."
"Those who are not looking for happiness are the most likely to find it, because those who are searching forget that the surest way to be happy is to seek happiness for others."
"We must build dikes of courage to hold back the flood of fear."
